Great unassuming wine bar that also serves food. Pretty quiet n the Tuesday that we went. So much…read moreso that we were concerned the kitchen wasn't open, to our delight it was. Good sized menu with ample vegetarian dishes too. I was recommended the beef Wellington which 5 of my colleagues had. I eventually went for the cod loin. Really well cooked and presented, nice wine to accompany - unsurprising, considering it's a wine bar. Take your colleagues, parents, other half, the ambience is nice.

The wine isn't mad expensive, so that is a big plus, and the personnel is sweet. The food is good, but unfortunately people have gotten food poisoning from the place, so we avoid eating there since then. Hopefully the place has gotten better with food hygiene. Safe bet if you don't know where to go.

Celebrated the 1st year of being open on Sat past. £10.90 for a vodka & soda, vodka & diet coke, Bacardi & lemonade.

I can't say much against Lou Lou's as it's a lovely brunch spot with great food and coffee. There's…read morelittle more fun that good eggs, pancakes and people watching through their big front windows. On warm days there are seats outside, and inside you'll find a warm and welcoming bistro with dark wood finishes and a mosaic tile floor. The only bad thing I can say is, that from the three experiences I've had, two have had really slow service. 15 minutes for coffees, nearly 50 for food. The other time it was very fast and lovely. I will go back, but with the Sunday paper and less of a rumbling stomach.

I started with medley of garlic mushrooms on ciabatta with peashoots, it was yum, mains was swordfish, mediterran vegetables, new potatoes, which was yum as (first time trying swordfish), there was no room for dessert though. A few glasses of wine through the meal though. Well worth the money, large portion sizes.

We were greeted by friendly staff and quickly found a table and decided to order the Bottega burger…read more( beef burger,applewood cured bacon & blue cheese all in a brioche bun) which came with triple cooked chips and salad, it sounded very appetising . Drinks were ordered and we sat chatting over our drinks waiting for our food, considering there were not many people in the restaurant/bar the food took ages to arrive. And when it came it looked tasty but alas it was very disappointing, the bun was dry, hardly any blue cheese and the bacon did not have any flavour, the burger was juicy but tasteless, the salad and chips were ok. So overall very disappointing !

Popped into Joe's as we were originally captivated by their choice of Burgers…read more We entered but nobody greeted us so we just found a table. Originally we planned to try of the many different Burgers but as ever, we accepted eyes were bigger than stomachs! I opted for the Thai Beef Salad and my partner took the Nacho's. Ordering is done at the bar with a table number. There are plenty of draught & bottled drinks to choose from! Food arrived quickly and looked tasty. We mixed and matched a bit to get the best of both dishes. In the process, the missus handed me a large Nacho loaded with sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños. On grasping it - the whole lot landed upside down on the table... oops!! Anyway it was an ok meal but the beef in my dish had a little too much stringy fat that lead me to leave most of the meat and eat the veggies which were very nice in a skillet stir-fry style sauce. Overall ok - didn't stop for dessert as we were full!

On coming out and unsucessfully struggling to try to get into the other loo, a middle aged waiter saw me struggle but didnt help. I asked /stated the disabled loo door was broken and he stomped in there to prove if what I was saying was correct and then immediately came out merely saying "yes it is" but offering no apology or help, he was just extremely rude. I was made to feel embarrassed at having to use a disabled loo and as such unwelcome. On returning to my table our drinks had arrived but I told my husband I did not want to stay and eat and asked if we could leave. On seeing me a little upset both my husband and the 4 other diners next to us all stated their disgust as well. On leaving my husband went to pay for the one glass of coke I had sipped a little off and the waiter even tried to charge him for an unopened bottle of still water he had only just put down, which we didnt even have glasses for ! He didn't even speak politely then, nor seemed surprised we were leaving (which seems a bit of a trend from other reviews) There was most definitely no offer of apology, in fact he was just out and out rude. What a nasty horrible, little man who obviously thinks it's completely acceptable to behave like this towards customers. I really don't understand how this place can justify prices more expensive than the Ivy in Winchester when it is at best tired ,dirty with extensively ripped and marked seats etc with waiters dressed in old Jean's. There was also no obvious covid cleaning regime, (which the loo would back up) nor any use of the track and trace system. We went to another lovely place around corner and on chatting to the manager there and then again in a shop it was confirmed my all that this individual is known for it and they ' have people moaning all the time about him, even the solent management want rid of him' Be warned and avoid like COVID
